ACKLEY WORLD JOURNAL, Thursday, February 14, 1918Ackley's Roll of Honor (World War I)
The following is not claimed to be a perfectly accurate or complete list, but represents an effort on the park of Ackley's Loyal League to make a list of all who are in the service from Ackley and vicinity. It must be remembered that the boys enlisted or were called to service at different times and places, and are in different branches of the service, and some boys were absent from Ackley at at the time of their enlistment, and other boys who had removed from Ackely were gone such a short time before entering the services that it has not always been possible to say whether they entered the service while residents of this vicinity or not. The Ackley Loyal League will appreciae the giving to any of its officers of additional names to be added to the roll, or information on which corrections in it can be made. The first seventeen listed are in the navy; the next twenty-three are infantrymen; the five following are aviators; the others, oe or two, are in the ordnance, chemical unit, etc. thus: Earl Bolender |
